notice he says ‘food products’ and not food. real food, produce, meat…don’t contain HFCS its the food ‘products’ that do.

michael pollan says – “not because HFCS is any worse for you than sugar, but because it is, like many of the other unfamiliar ingredients in packaged food, a realiable marker for a food product that has been highly processed, also, HFCS is being added to hundreds of food that have not traditionally been sweetened – breads, condiments, and many snack foods – so if you avoid products that contain it, you will cut down on your sugar intake. but don’t fall for the food industry’s latest scam: products reformulated to contain ‘no HFCS’ or ‘real cane sugar’.these claims imply these foods are somehow healither , but they’re not. sugar is sugar.”

a good place to start reducing your intake of sugar is remember rule #5 i shared a while back. “AVOID FOODS THAT HAVE SOME FORM OF SUGAR (OR SWEETENER) LISTED AMONG THE TOP THREE INGREDIENTS.”
